I've been through a weird and busy week, filled with dull jobsand unpleasant things that needed to be done urgentlyso,this is my top 3 against little nervous breakdowns when yourfree time is rather limited:

1 watch a good movie2 take care of your plants and make sure there are always fresh flowers in your house3 make small walks in your neighborhood and take your camera with you.

Painting balls also helps; those on the photo had a three layerglossy varnish.The rider in bearskin comes from 'True Gritt'.

When looking back at my flickr pages, I'm a little embarrassedabout the poor quality of my pictures, especially those of mysampler are really no class, brrr.So, if the weather is ok, I mean, when there's enought light,I will try to make some better ones, soon!The pictures here are from a small piece of sampler; I was trying outsome leaves and flowers in different stitches; the black shapes area combination of crochet and embroidery, it was fun to do!The cute cat is Amy, Luc & Zjé's pet, love the black padsunder her right leg :^)

I was painting balls for a new set of mobiles,played with the blocks for a while,then browsed in a book of Oscar Schlemmerand made some pictures of the light that occasionallylit up my room.I tried a few compositions with the woodenplates, but I'm still not quite sure what I want.We'll see :^)

I've got a few stems of an umbrella palm to take root; they'renow for about two weeks with their leaves down into the water,so I wonder when the first roots will appear.Maybe tomorrow :^)

What about the the Nepenthes, could it be a carnivorousbecomes harmless once he's domesticated and cared for? The thing is,the plant is doing very well but makes no more traps; the lastone was about two years ago and has now completely dried.

Or is it just laziness?I would do the same of course!Goodnight & Sweet dreams :^)

Strong winds, thunder, rain and hail almost the size of asnowberry :^)stayed indoors for two days with a sore throat and a running nose,wrapped in a woolen blanket readingManhattan Transfer and browsing some magazines and photo books

I wish for a bit of sun, no wind and a peaceful thick carpet of snow and thenmake a nice walk in the woods!
